How it fits into a day

A 150 g serving of boiled white rice has about 195 kcal, almost all from carbs. Rice swells almost three times when cooked, so 50 g of dry rice gives roughly this serving. Most of the energy, about 90%, comes from carbs.

A usual serving (side serving) is about 10% of a 2,000 kcal day. How much do you need a day? Work it out in the calorie calculator.

Lighter options

  • Measure rice dry: 50 g per person is a side serving.
  • Rice with plenty of vegetables is more filling for the same calories.
